Invalid page fault caused by 'wtoolsa'

[Angela]

Does any one know how to be rid of the following item that
keeps popping up and is driving me nuts.

Wtoolsa caused an invalid page fault in module
KERNEL32.DLL at 0187:bff 7671f

Would appreciate any assistance.

Have a look at "YellowHammer's" procedure here:
http://computercops.info/modules.php?name=3DForums&file=3Dviewtopic&p=3D1=
72295

An over-simplified version -
Restart in Safe Mode:
-Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 =
Startup menu (boot menu) appears.
-Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter.

Then delete the Wintools folder and run Hijack This in Safe Mode, and =
use it to remove these entries, if found:

C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe
C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsS.exe
C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WSup.exe

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} =
-C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} -
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinTools] C:\Program Files\Common =
Files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe

Here is my standard response on how to download and use Hijack This:

Download, unzip, and run Hijack This from one of these locations:
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/HijackThis.exe
Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder, =
doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save =
Log" button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My =
Documents, or similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix =
anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at one of these =

An over-simplified version, but preferably read and follow the link =
above -
Restart in Safe Mode:
-Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 =
Startup menu (boot menu) appears.
-Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter.

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and End Task on any Wintoolsa or Wintoolss or any =
other Wintools app listed, and Wsup, if shown.

Then delete the Wintools folder and run Hijack This in Safe Mode, and =
use it to remove these entries, if found:

C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe
C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsS.exe
C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WSup.exe

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} =
